WASHINGTON.' Aug. The
state- department tonight, made pub
lic the reply of the United States re
jecting newt est forth by the Austro
Hungarian recent note, declaring
that transportation of war munitions
from the United State to Austrian
enemies was conducted on aucta a
scale as to be "not In consonance
with the definition of neutrality."
Though friendly In tone, tha note
flatly denies the Austro-IIungarlan
contentions and recalls that that
country and Germany furnished mu
nition of war to Great Britain for the
Boer war when England's enemies
could not Import such supplies. .
It Insisted that the American gov
ernment is pursuing a strictly neu
tral course and adhering to a princi
ple upon which it would depend for
munitions In the market of the
world In case It should be attacked
by a foreign power.
Attention la directed to the fact that
Auatrla-Hunsary and Oermeny before
tha war produced A great surplus of war
munitions and sold them throushout tha
world, eepoclally to belltserenls." and
that "never during that period did either
of them suggest or apply the principle
now advocated hy the Imperial and royal
lovernment." '

Colonel Nell Brennan, who died at his

staunch supporter of whatever causa ha

affairs of Holt county and O'Neill, where
he had prospered because of his un
remitting Industry and his sterling hon-
eaty.
Colonel Brennan wag a native of Ire

Donegal, alxty-five years asro. Ills Par
ents were too poor to give him the ad
vantage even of auch education aa waa
thn available In the common schools of
Ireland, but he grew to strong manhood.
and with a reverential love of Ms father
and mother and a devotion to Ms country
that marked Ms whole life, eel out aa a
lad to earn his way through the world.
He went lo Scotland first, and for mora
than two yeara worked aa a laborer In a
big engineering works, sending- his wages
home regularly to aid In supporting his
Parents. He saved what he earned by
working overtime, and - emigrated to
America, arriving first at Quebec, but
rclng almost Immediately from there to
Boston, where he spent the Iset of his
British money In payment of fee on bis
naturalisation papers, which show him to
have been 1 years old at tha time. From
here lie atill aent money home to help
his father and mother.
At Cambridge he Joined the Rein Finn

O'Neill and hla little band of Fenians
Invaded Canada. Nell Brennan waa one of
the party, and was brought back to tho
Untied Plates by General Meade along
with the rest. After Colonef O'Neill had
been freed from hla punishment, he or
raalxed a colony of Irishmen, who were
to found a new oomm unity in the west
The first man to respond to bis rail waa
Nell brennan. The party reached Holt
couty in May, 171. to settle an Irish
colony free from British rule. Here
young Brennan was employed for nearly
five year by I'at Haggertr, who estab
lished the first Store in O'Neill, freight
ing goods from the railroad at Tankton
and Wlsner. He hauled from Tankton
tha lumber for the first Cat hollo church
In O'Neill. While thus ensraced Nell
Brennan waa laying tha foundation for

end.
On one of hla trips to Wlsner he
stopped for the night at the home of Tim

army headquarters today. The army
of Prince Leopold of Bavaria, press

occupied Losyce and MIedsyneo, the
statement adds.
The text of the atatement follows:
"Western theater! North of Ammet

down undr our fire.
"Eastern theater, army group of Field

the matter of trade In war supplies.

In "lew Of tha fnrnli mtm
this government is reluctant to believe
that the Imperial and royal government

But. In addition to the aueatlnn nf twin.
(iple, there is a practical and substan
tial reason why the government of the
United States haa from the foundation
of the republic to the present time ad
vocated and practised Unrestricted trade
In arms and military' supplies. It haa
never boon the policy of this country to
maintain in time o( peace a large mil'
nary rstahiiehraant or stores of arms
and ammunition sufficient to repel In
vasion by a well equipped and powerful
enemy. It has desired to remain at Macs
with all nations and avoid any appear
ance of menacing such peace by the
threat of Its armies and navies. In eon
setiuonce of this standing policy the
I'nttvd States would. In the event of at
tack ty a foreign power, be at the out
set of the war, seriously, if not fatally
embarrassed by lack of arms nod ammu

quirements of oelenee, I'he United States
has always d expended upon the right end

Complying with a recently enacted city ordinance, all
street cars will, on and after August 18th, stop on the
near side of street intersections in the City of Omaha,
to take on and discharge passengers. They will not
stop on the far side. At all points outside the city limits
of Omaha, however, cars will stop on the far side as
heretofore, and not on the near side.
Passengers will please remember this so there may be
as little confusion as possible.
Respectfully,
Omaha & Council Bluff i
Street Railway Co.
